Dust and Scratch control
I'm a photographer and use black acrylic as a base for product shoots. The acrylic scratches sometimes and I need to reduce static and dust. The Plastic Shop had the solution to both issues.
The polish works well on the high gloss acrylic. I tried it on my Omega Speedmaster too and it polished out a scuff that had been annoying me for a while.
